April 2, 2015CO-CHAIR OF THE GAE COMMITTEE REP. ED JUTILA TALKS ABOUT A BILL TO CHANGE THE FOIA AS IT RELATES TO ARREST RECORDS
The Government Administration and Elections Committee voted 9-6 Monday in favor of a bill written to nullify a Connecticut Supreme Court decision allowing police to withhold arrest information until criminal prosecutions are completed. The vote sends the bill to the floor of the House for consideration. The bill is the committee’s effort to change the state’s Freedom of Information Act to better balance the public’s right to know against prosecutorial and privacy concerns. Rep.
